CLEVELAND, O., July l5.-An important
meeting Of lines interested in the Hooking
Valley and Pittaburgh coal fields was
held to-day in this city ct the Lake Shore
oilice. Some time last winter en- agree.
ment was made between these lines and
the lines concerned in Indiana and ILL
nrois coal fields, fixing the rate
from each field to common distributing
points. One Of these points was Chicago.
It was agreed that the rate from the In.
diana and Illinois fields to Chicago should
be- 81; from Hooking Valley, S.; from
Pittsburgh, So %. The increased cost OF
coal delivered ut railroad cara in Indiana
and Illinois gave the Hooking Valley lines
twas thought sufficient advantage to per-
NIT them to compete with these western
coal fields even at double ratea. ,i';iEf..

The following statement comes from the
Health Officer, Dr.. Robert Reed: For the
half year ending with June, tho number
Of deaths in the city averaged 45 per
month. During the month OF May there
were 40 deaths-iour above the average.
Thia gives the death rate per annum for
May 1856 per 1000 Of population.
A mortality statement for May, 1887,
from seventy.four cltiea and large towns
OF the United States, shows 90 with a
higher percentage than that OF Wheeling
and a great number OF the remaining
ones shows percentage but little less. A
like statement from tifty.six cities and
large towns in England, gives fifty.three
with higher percentage. And OF sixty
eight cities and towns Of continental
Europe not one has az low death rate for
May as Wheeling. Nt5@-7 rs
The comparison is at least in the line Of
reiutation Of the statement that, the gen.
ersl sanitary condition of the city of
Wheeling is in "the most reprehensible
and alarming condition." TI -9s- g7

The exceedingly warm and dry weather,

supply Of fruito and vegetables in the city
markets. The earliest green corn was Just
becoming ready ior use, and the absence
Of rain is well nigh fatal to it. 1t is scarce,
and what little comes in Is not Of frat
quality aud sells at Is cents dozen.
Blackberries, which got as low as 40 cents
q bucket, are now ecarce at 10. II several
good rains come the yield OF this fruit will
run into August. II not, 1t is about done.
Black raapberrias are getting scarce, and
red ones show the effect of tho drought.
Cucumbers are rendered scarce also. Peas
and green beans, for this or some other
reason, keep up well in price. There are
next to no tomatoes coming in. Water
melone, rs they come from Georgia, are
not affected by local conditions. They
are abundant and fine. Nutmegs have
just begun to come in, but are cheap.
